Okay, just go with me here.

The First Meeting: Syracuse is undefeated but we are not #1. Arizona is. SU's perfection is suspect and none of us are sure that we are as good as our record. Enter Duke. We have one of the greatest games in college basketball at the Dome, and win it. We are validated!! We are good!! We sucked the blood from Duke and we became stronger. We are Worthy.

The Second Meeting (aka Sport Coat Game): We lose spectacularly and an epic Meme for the Ages is born. This game gives us notoriety, which is not as desirable as validation but hey. It was what it was.

2015: The Lost Season. We have two unmemorable losses to Duke. We fail as parasites - or did we? Perhaps Duke failed in its duties as host! Meh.

The Fifth Meeting: Syracuse defeats Duke at Cameron in an absolutely [I]amazing [/I]game. We are having a crap season but because we sucked the blood of DUKE, we make it into the NCAA tournament. Duke gives us validation and the hematologic suction propels us to the Final Four.

The Sixth Meeting: We are toast. Yeah yeah, we've beaten two top ten teams but we have lost too many times. The only way - ONLY WAY - we can get into the tournament is to beat Duke but of course we're not going to beat them, although we seem to be playing them well but obviously they will win because they are superior to us - [SIZE=5][B]HEY! [/B][SIZE=4]OMG, we beat Duke and we're dancing, baby!! Dick Vitale said so! We get our ticket punched because we are Duke's parasite and we imbibed long and we imbibed hard. It's what we do.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
